So I saw this thing online that said something like: " if you've never jumped from the carpet to the sofa to avoid lava as a kid then you've never had a childhood." or something to that effect. A few days after seeing this very true little blurp I was assigned to draw a volcano as an info graphic. The following are process pictures for this project. I do not have the very final piece on here because the writing on it is too small for you to read. Basically though the final featured this painting with post it note looking things explaining volcanoes, dust mites and cats....you know, the important things in life. phase one:
phase two:
final:
The original is not this blue just so you know all y'all. I enjoyed this project, it was nice to take a break from shadow puppets. When I finished it I realized it much resembled my relationship with my room mate at the moment, go figure. I really hadn't intended this to be a portrait of my home life, but art is so mysterious, no? Anyway I will be heading to the South West next week to Tucson AZ. I will be visiting my family and building paper puppets in the desert. Romantic don't you think? I need to figure out how to pack all my boots...
Hasta Luego!
